"The Falcons are devoid of a first-round pick after trading it to move up for James Pearce Jr. in 2025, but it would be a surprise to see Bernard go that high."
"Bernard is a pro-ready prospect who profiles as a second or third receiver in the NFL, per Brugler, which is something Atlanta is lacking."
"Bernard pulled in 34 catches for 419 yards and two touchdowns. His quarterback that year was Michael Penix Jr., who is now entering his third season with the Falcons."
"The free agent additions of Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus gave the Falcons some insurance before the draft, though general manager Ian Cunningham could bring in someone with more upside."
The Falcons have identified receiver as a key need heading into the draft, with Alabama's Germie Bernard on their radar. They lack a first-round pick but could select Bernard at No. 48 in the second round. Bernard is considered a pro-ready prospect, potentially serving as a second or third receiver. The Falcons' receiving corps is weak beyond their top receiver, Drake London. Bernard had a productive season at Washington and followed his coach to Alabama, where he aims to reunite with quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
